An article titled "Solving the SOA
Governance puzzle: Taking a "Bite-Sized" approach" authored by Oracle's Jyothi Swaroop was published as the
cover story in the December issue of Service Technology Magazine.

Abstract:SOA Governance initiatives help organizations optimize their service-oriented architecture (SOA) by providing a means to reduce risk, maintain business alignment and show the business value of SOA investments. But all too often these initiatives can be seen as daunting projects that are overly broad and complex, require too many resources and are too time consuming. In this article, Oracle’s Jyothi Swaroop will explain how organizations can take an incremental approach to SOA governance initiatives to meet their specific needs. This will include an overview of how SOA governance technologies can support specific tactical level projects and yet ensure the organization is able to optimize the entire lifecycle of its SOA.

Here's an excerpt from a very interesting article on CIO update titled "Finding the value in SOA" by Stephen Bennett of Oracle

"Because of this, SOA must not be seen as a solution development approach that starts and ends once a solution is delivered. It must be seen as an on-going process that, when coupled with a strategic framework, can change and evolve with the business over time. Unfortunately, many enterprises adopt SOA without utilizing a strategic framework, causing a host of challenges for their business.

Gartner’s Magic Quadrant reports position vendors within a
particular quadrant based on their completeness of vision and ability to
execute.

According to Gartner, “Service-oriented architecture (SOA)
governance technologies, much like any other set of technologies, are striving
to address needs beyond SOA to initiatives not having the SOA label, but are
built according to a service-oriented model. Process governance, governing
cloud interactions and interactions with business partners (e.g. integration
brokerages) are part of the functionality set, or at least are on the radar for
most technology providers.”

“Organizations are increasingly trying to eliminate the
complex and expensive processes associated with managing numerous software
artifacts in SOA, application integration projects and cloud environments,”
said Michael Weingartner, vice president, product development, Oracle. “We
believe that Oracle’s position as a leader in this Gartner SOA Governance Magic
Quadrant is recognition of our commitment to providing an end-to-end solution
that helps customers reduce risk, maintain business alignment and show the
business value of SOA and cloud investments.”
